Christy Mathewson at the 1911 World Series

A Photographic Treasury of Baseball’s Deadball Era

Christy Mathewson at the 1911 World Series

This image of Mathewson was taken by an American Press Association photographer at the 1911 World Series. That World Series was the only time the New York Giants wore a black cap with a white brim. Note the details and dark “NY” on Matty’s sweater.

Further proof of the 1911 World Series is this newspaper use of the photo during the Series.
